When the soldier hanged himself, he actually saw a beautiful woman beckoning, and he went to the teahouse to drink tea but fell into the water
In an ancient and mysterious border town, there is a bizarre and eerie story circulating. The protagonist of this story is a young soldier named Li Yong. Li Yong is burly, with a resolute face, and is usually silent, but he hides endless courage and wisdom in his heart.
One evening, Li Yong returned from patrol, exhausted. He walked through a deep alley when suddenly, a gentle breeze blew, bringing with him a strange aroma. He looked up and saw an ancient locust tree in front of him, and there was a white silk hanging on it. Bai Aya fluttered gently in the wind, as if someone was waving to him.
Li Yong was shocked, he clearly remembered that there was no locust tree in this alley before, let alone the white silk that suddenly appeared. Driven by curiosity, he slowly approached the locust tree. At this moment, he seemed to see a woman dressed in white, with a delicate face and picturesque eyebrows, smiling and beckoning to him.
An inexplicable impulse surged in Li Yong's heart, as if he was attracted by the woman's smile, and involuntarily stretched out his hand. Just as his fingers were about to touch Bai Aya, a sharp pain suddenly came, and he realized that he had been caught around his neck by an invisible rope at some point.
Li Yong struggled to shout, but found that he couldn't even make a sound. He tried his best to break free, but the rope tightened and tightened, almost suffocating him. At this moment, his eyes went black and he lost consciousness.
I don't know how long it took, Li Yong slowly woke up. He found himself lying on a wet meadow, surrounded by the faint smell of tea. He rubbed his eyes and looked up, only to see a quaint teahouse not far away.
Li Yong was puzzled in his heart, he clearly remembered that he was unconscious in the alley, how could he suddenly appear here? He stood up and decided to go to the teahouse to inquire about the situation.
Walking into the teahouse, Li Yong was shocked by the scene in front of him. The interior of the teahouse is elegantly decorated, antique, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of tea. He sat down by the window and ordered a pot of tea.
The owner of the teahouse, an amiable old man, saw Li Yong's haggard face and asked him about his suffering. Li Yong told the old man about his previous experience. After hearing this, the old man frowned, and was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Young man, what you have encountered is probably the legendary 'Ghost Huai Soul Attraction Technique'. The old man's voice was low and mysterious, "That locust tree is not an extraordinary thing, but a ghost. They use the way of beckoning beautiful women to lure passers-by to hang themselves in order to absorb their yang energy. ”
Li Yong was terrified when he heard this, and he couldn't help but recall the smile of the woman in white and the restraint of the rope, and he was afraid for a while. He hurriedly asked, "Then why am I here, and how did I escape?"
The old man smiled slightly and pointed to the river outside the window: "You didn't escape, but were saved by the river." That river is the River Styx that leads to the underworld, and your soul is almost pulled into it by ghosts. Fortunately, your yang energy is still there, and the river washes you back to the yang world. ”
After Li Yong heard this, he was happy in his heart. He remembered the woman in white and the rope he saw before he fell unconscious, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Who is the woman in white? Why did she appear there?"
The old man sighed and slowly told a dusty past. It turned out that the woman in white was a beautiful village girl who was cursed for falling in love with someone she shouldn't love. Trapped under the locust tree, she turned into a ghost, repeating the daily waving motion, luring passers-by to hang herself.
After Li Yong heard this, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He sympathized with the woman's plight, but he also felt terrified that he had almost fallen victim to her. He decided to find a way to lift the curse and help the woman get her back on life.
Under the guidance of the teahouse owner, Li Yong embarked on his expedition. He traverses the misty mountains and forests in search of clues to lift the curse, and he battles demons and monsters to protect himself while searching for the woman's traces.
As the investigation deepened, Li Yong gradually discovered more secrets. It turns out that there is a little-known history behind this town, and it all has to do with the locust tree and the woman.
Will Li Yong succeed in lifting the curse? What will be the fate of the woman? All these mysteries will be revealed one by one in the rest of the story. And Li Yong's adventure will also become a legendary story in this ancient town.
Let's say that Li Yong, under the guidance of the teahouse owner, embarked on a journey to find a way to lift the curse. He crossed mountains and mountains, overcame thorns and thorns, and went through many hardships, and finally came to a barren ancient tomb.
It is said that this ancient tomb complex was the burial ground of a nobleman in ancient times, and the locust tree was the guardian tree in front of the nobleman's tomb. Only by finding the relics left by the nobles can the curse be lifted and the woman free.
Li Yong cautiously entered the ancient tombs, he avoided traps and traps, and finally arrived at the tomb of the noble. There were all kinds of precious funerary goods in the tomb, but Li Yong's eyes fell on a portrait in the center of the tomb.
The portrait depicts the nobleman and his beloved wife. And that beloved wife looks exactly like the woman in white. Li Yong's heart moved, and he guessed that the nobleman's beloved wife might be the woman in white's previous life.
He looked closely around the portrait and found a vague inscription beneath it, which seemed to be a solution to the curse. However, due to its age, the handwriting has become illegible. Li Yong took a deep breath and calmed down, trying to decipher the vague handwriting.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly sounded in the tomb, and the light of the candles flickered. Li Yong's heart tightened, he knew that this was the ghost in the ancient tomb that began to haunt him. He clenched the sword in his hand and looked around warily.
Sure enough, after a while, a group of hideous-looking ghosts poured out of the darkness. They roared and lunged at Li Yong, trying to stop him from finding a way to lift the curse. Undeterred, Li Yong brandished the sword in his hand and engaged in a fierce battle with the ghosts.
After a fierce battle, Li Yong finally repelled the ghosts. He took the opportunity to carefully read the inscription underneath the portrait and finally found a way to lift the curse. It turned out that the nobleman left a piece of jade pendant on his deathbed, and only by placing the jade pendant under the locust tree could the woman's curse be lifted.
Li Yong immediately returned to the teahouse and asked the boss about the whereabouts of Yu Pei. The boss told him that the jade pendant had been kept in the town's ancestral hall and enshrined as a treasure in the town. After Li Yong heard this, he immediately went to the ancestral hall and took out the jade pendant.
He took the jade pendant back to the locust tree and carefully placed it next to the roots. Suddenly, a burst of bright light emanated from the jade pendant, enveloping the entire locust tree in it. Li Yong only felt a flower in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, the locust tree had disappeared.
In her place was a beautiful woman, dressed in white and with a delicate face, who was the woman in white. She bowed deeply to Li Yong and said gratefully, "Thanks to Engong for saving me, I was finally able to regain my life." ”
Li Yong shook his head with a smile and said, "This is what I should do." I hope you will be able to live a happy life in the future. The woman thanked her again and disappeared into the sky in a white light.
Since then, the townspeople have never encountered anything strange. And Li Yong also became a hero in the town because of his bravery and wisdom. His story has been passed down from generation to generation and has become a legend that has been passed down through the ages.
And that once eerie alley has also become quiet and peaceful because of the disappearance of the locust tree. When night falls, the moonlight shines on the stone pavement of the alley, and it seems that the soft laughter of the woman can still be heard, echoing in the night sky. In the days that followed, Li Yong's life returned to peace. He continued to perform his duties as a soldier and to guard the peace of the town. However, that bizarre experience, as well as the smile of the woman in white, always haunted him.
As the days passed, Li Yong often recalled the story told by the teahouse owner. He was curious about the relationship between the nobleman and the woman in white in his previous life, and he was full of questions about the origin of the jade pendant. So, he decided to go to the ancestral hall again to explore the secret behind the jade pendant.
On this day, the sun was just right, and Li Yong came to the ancestral hall. After respectfully saluting the ancestral tablet, he began to carefully search for records of the jade pendant. After some searching, he finally found a clue in a yellowed ancient book.
It turned out that the jade pendant was a testimony of the love between the nobleman and his wife. They had vowed to live together, and the jade pendant was a token of their love. However, as fate would have it, the nobleman's wife died of illness at an early age, and the nobleman was so grief-stricken that he left the jade pendant at his wife's grave and vowed to protect her forever.
After the nobleman died, his soul attached to the locust tree and turned into a ghost. And his wife, because of her longing and guilt for her husband, also turned into a woman in white and wandered under the locust tree. Their love, bound by the locust tree and the jade pendant, cannot be freed.
After reading this record, Li Yong felt a lot of emotion in his heart. He understood the hardships of the woman in white, and also understood the persistence of the nobles. He decided to tell this story to more people, so that their love could be understood and blessed by the world.
So, Li Yong began to run around and spread the story. He used his own personal experience to tell that poignant love story, which touched countless people. People flock to the place where the locust tree once used to pray and bless the lovers.
As time passed, the people of the town gradually forgot the terrifying legend of the locust tree and only remembered the beautiful love story. And Li Yong, because of his kindness and bravery, has become the most respected person in the town.
And the woman in white gradually dissipated her resentment in the blessings of the people, turned into a wisp of wind, and drifted into the distance. She was finally liberated and free to pursue her own happiness.
Li Yong stood in the place where the locust tree once was, looking at the sky in the distance, his heart was full of emotion and relief. He knew that his efforts were not in vain, and that poignant love story finally got a happy ending.
Since then, nothing strange has happened in the town, and the people live a peaceful and happy life. And Li Yong's story has also become a legendary story in the town, inspiring future generations to move forward bravely and pursue true love and happiness.
